How To Delete Unconfirmed WordPress Users

Important: All scripts hosted on widcraft.googlecode.com don't work anymore because Google has blocked that SVN repository.


In past, I shared several articles to manage your WordPress users, such as changing usernames, and restricting usernames. It's time for another article related to WordPress users. It's really important to manage all users, even more if you're using BuddyPress.
Some registered users of your site may not really confirm their id by clicking on activation links, which really sucks, as they're just wasting your database's little space. Activation emails may be caught by spam filters, deleted unwillingly, or simply not understood.

Boone Gorges and CUNY Academic Commons created a very useful plugin called, Unconfirmed, which creates a Dashboard panel under the Users menu (Network Admin > Users on Multisite) that shows a list of unactivated user registrations.

For each registration, you can resend the original activation email, manually activating the user, or delete them. It's a really great and must use plugin for all. If you got some extra money, you can also donate some to keep this plugin up in development at this link.

How To Install And Use Unconfirmed:

  • Click here and download this plugin. Visit your WordPress' plugin page and install this plugin.
  • You can also install this plugin from your WP's plugin directory.
  • After installing, activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' admin menu in WordPress.
  • Now visit Dashboard > Users to manage unconfirmed users.

Hope this will keep your community up and clean. Don't forget to leave your responses, and I'll try to help and reach you all.
